If you are in iframe mode this is possible by just reducing the width to about 50px. But XFBML or HTML5 mode will not obey your width. — , Sep 16 '11 at 23:16

Can you wrap it in div containers w/ absolute dimensions & float it. . . so the overflow wont disrupt anything.

This yet does the trick. Thank you! – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Mar 06 '13 at 01:19

This solution is out of date now. You can still do it though, see this blog post: http://jacobquatier.com/posts/2013/04/01/facebook-like-buttons-without-count/ – Cameron Jul 16 '13 at 15:29
Yes, but it's forbidden by [fb policy](https://developers.facebook.com/policy/) ;) IV. Application Integration Points 4 d. You must not obscure or cover elements of our social plugins, such as the Like button or Like box plugin. – Dario Nov 02 '13 at 23:56

Just give a width of 47px and it seems to works fine. I think they have changed the UI recently - now when you like it there is just a tickbox added to the like button and it doesn't distort the UI.

I am using 50px and it is doing good the trick. Thank you! – Geppettvs D'Constanzo Mar 06 '13 at 01:20

NB. Facebook localizes the button - so the "like" button might be in a different language. Then of course this image is not a standard width - so you cant guarantee being able to hide it by setting width of iframe or css settings.

I do not think it is possible. The whole UI is driven from Facebook and you can see all the variations here http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

However, if you want, you may apply some CSS/JavaScript hack. The count is under uiGrid class, you may target this element and set display none after the page has rendered. In JQuery, you would $('.uiGrid').hide()

But the suggestion above is not recommended.

I don't think you could do that, as the Like button is inside an iFrame controlled by Facebook... – julien_c Mar 06 '12 at 12:44

Here's a question with several much more detailed answers to the different ways of doing this: http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/2950172/facebook-like-button-hide-count

There are apparently a few cases where the answer is slightly different -- one for the javascript version, one with the iframe version, etc.
